Back to the Mainland

Last weekend we enjoyed some warm weather with fellow project members by sitting outside.  Paige and Lee both enjoy knitting and Lee entertained us by spinning some wool on her portable spinning wheel.
 
We stayed busy for the last week at our Nomads project in Williston, FL.  Paige worked with Bob, Ken, and Tony who were building a handicap ramp for a family just outside of town.  The weather was warm this week, mostly in the mid-80’s, and we got very hot while working.  The family was very appreciative and happy to have this done for them.  It made us all feel good!  Others in the group did some work at the parsonage and painted parking stripes. 
 
After 3 weeks in Williston, Florida, we packed up this morning and hit the road once again.  We traveled north, back to the mainland of North America and west along the Gulf of Mexico, staying in Florida’s “panhandle” region.  We stopped at the HoHum Resort just east of Carabelle for the next 4 days.  We are also very close to the line between Eastern and Central time zones, so we can leave our clocks as they are on Saturday night and be accurate again when we cross the line on Tuesday morning. 

It didn’t take long to meet a number of our new neighbors and we chatted with some from Michigan, Maryland, and Minnesota (Champlin). 

We plan to do a little sightseeing along the coast and have some more seafood before moving to the western end of Florida later.  We will post some pictures soon.
